im 5'5 195. i tried to go in the AF when i was 18 and they told me i had to drop down to 155! i dont know my fat % but im in very good shape, bench press 365, run a 4.6 40, and can run a mile in just over 6mins. i could prolly loose another 10-15 lbs and still be healthy. they wouldnt do a body fat index on me back in 05. do u think they would do one now? i still really wanna go in but these no way i can get to 155 with the way im built.

At th moment, i dont think they would. they arent under super need for people, BUT go recruiter to recruiter. say you want the body fat measurement. If you can meet the Pt requirements (which change in JAN10 btw) you shoudl be fine.

there is a waiver for EVERYTHING

I was 14lbs over my max weight when I came in last October but I taped under 20 percent body fat so I was able to get in. Only waiver I needed was for having my son out of wedlock, show some initiative and getting in is not a problem.
